V. POINTS

A. Official Events

Points may only be earned at events that are in compliance with Bylaws Article V.A. Notice. Events must be:

• Held in a medieval context, setting and style

• Held for the purpose of education, recreation and/or competition

• Sanctioned by the Crown

• Sponsored by a subdivision

• Announced thirty (30) days in advance to the membership through official channels (announced in

Court, or in an official newsletter)

• Presided over by the Crown or a Ruling Noble

• Attended by the ministers (or their deputies) responsible for the type of activities undertaken

Exceptions to the rule

30-day notice is waived or revoked – See Bylaws Article V.A. Notice. The Crown (or the Estates), for just

and stated cause, may waive or revoke notice. Revocation must be in writing.

Civil Wars - See Bylaws Article XV.B.1. Notice. Civil Wars require that the war be held within 30 days of the

issuance of the challenge.

Acts of God – See Bylaws Article XVIII, Conduct of Target Archery (which applies to all events by extension and in

policy). Official events that cannot be held because of weather, Acts of God, etc., may be rescheduled. The

points earned at those make-up events are applied to the month they were originally scheduled.

B. Tournaments and Wars

These two types of events provide opportunities to advance in all four disciplines. For specific points

information, see Points: Disciplines.

• The person in charge of administrating a tournament or war is eligible for a DI.

• If there are members in a secondary role (sub-autocrat), they may be eligible for a DI. This is awarded

at the discretion of the Crown, and is awarded only if the person’s efforts were essential to the running

of the event.

• Imperial Crown or Civil Wars, and Imperial Tournaments are exempt from the one-point-per-month

rule. Points earned at these events may be counted as a second point in a month, if such has been

earned.

1. Tournaments

• Tournament participation shall counts as EPs in the disciplines in which they are earned. No

WPs shall be awarded at a tournament.

• The Crown is not eligible to receive a DI for regular Crown tournaments. These events are

administered mainly by the ministers. If the Crown is conducting a special Crown tournament,

they may be eligible for a DI. In such a case, the Imperial Crown awards the DI.

2. Wars

• War participation shall count as WPs in the disciplines in which they are earned. No EPs shall

be awarded at a war.

• An arts entry that earns a TW, MW or MP at a war can count toward knighthood.

3. Exception

• If a tournament is held in conjunction with a war, the arts entries are automatically counted as

participating in both events. They do not have to be judged separately to count for both types

of events. This is the only time a WP and an EP shall be counted for a single participation.
